While walking back from a hike on Mt. Riley with my son in the backpack carrier, I stopped and noticed the calm sunset over the Northern Lynn Canal. The different colors coming out of winter in Alaska are such a welcome sight.

Living in Haines, Alaska, and being able to view these amazing scenic landscapes daily gives you the ability to capture in all lighting year-round. I feel that April and May have been some of my favorite months to capture images. There are still snow-capped mountains, the spring colors are starting to show, and the sunsets are incredible.
